Leslie and I ran down from her house to the Run Gr8 running store to meet for their run.  There were lots of people there.  We were doing the 5 mile run.  I was very slow and got tired.  I told Leslie to go ahead.  Duke can't run with me for a couple of weeks so his leg can get better. Leslie came back for me and when we turned the corner I took off my warm stuff and so did she.  We ran east on 3600 to redwood road.  The leader of the group came back for me and Leslie went ahead.  We the ran north on redwood to the cemetery road and then north on 13th to the park and then out to redwood again and north to 126th and then west back to the store.  I enjoyed visiting with Heidi the wife of the store owner.  I made it back and was very tired.  We signed up for the free stuff and then ran back to Leslie's.  I'm glad I only went 6 miles.

I met the group for the early miles at the SJ soccer fields.  Only Kris was there.  I ran the 5K course going south.  I must have been very tired from waking up at 2:30 am and from hauling all the stuff from my storage auction because I went very slow and still felt dead.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my usual 6 mile course.  It wasn't as windy so I was able to go a little faster.

Duke and I met the group at Bingham for the early miles.  We were the only ones for the early miles.  We ran down 106th to redwood and then back to 2200 and then back to redwood and north to almost 98th and then back to Bingham.  I had to be to work at 6 so I couldn't stay any longer.

Leslie, Chrissy and I ran from her house to the Run Gr8 running store for the run.  We were suppose to wear green.  I couldn't find my green shirt so I just wore a green pin.  They gave out prizes and I won a hat.  Then Leslie and I ran the 5 mile course and Christine did the 3 mile one.  I went slow and steady and told Leslie to go ahead.  When I got the the road by the park Leslie came back to meet me.  She had a bloody knee because she had fallen down.  I ran with her the rest of the way.  They had cupcakes for us at the end.  It was fun.  Then we walked back to Leslie's.  Next week we are not running with the run Gr8 group because we are all doing the Kick Ash 5K at Wheelers Farm.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my usual 6 mile course.

I thought the group was meeting at Bingham to run on the track, so I got there early and ran up and down 106th until it was time to start.  No one came so I ran east on 106th to redwood and then north on redwood to 98th and then back.  When I got home I checked my email and found out we were meeting at Riverton High not Bingham.

I did an abbreviated ride because when I started it was already sprinkling and I did not want to get soaked.

When I got up to feed the cows this morning it was 45 degrees, so I wore a tank top and shorts to running group.  At least I had my gloves, arm warmers and head band.  There were only 4 others there.  We headed down the big hill on lampton.   We kept going on Lampton until we got almost to the end.  The others were heading back so I turned around too.  They were going back the same way, but I didn't feel like running up the big hill so I went out to 13th west and ran south back to tithing hill and then east to the church.  By the time I got back I was soaked. 

Three of my daughters, a son-in-law and one grand daughter and I ran the Kick Ash 5K this morning at Wheeler's Farm.  Several other daughters and grandkids were going to run but the snow and cold kept them away.  Luckily it stopped snowing by the time the race started but it was very muddy and cold.  I kept a slow stead;y pace and all my; family was ahead of me.  After about a half mile I could see my youngest daughter up ahead so my goal was to catch her.  I caught up to her and we stayed together for the first mile and a half and then I pulled ahead and beat her by about 30 seconds.  It was a fun run.  I think I was 48th out of about 100.  The wet cold weather kept a lot of people away.  It was a free race and we got neat shirts.  My grand daughter won a $50 gift card to Scheels.

I cannot not remember what I did.

I met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west.  I was early for the late miles so I ran east on 102nd and then back to the church.  The group started out going north on 98th to sky drive.  I followed and then lost sight, but I knew where they turned.  I turned west on Sky drive and then ran west to the golf course and then turned around and headed back the same way.

I rode my bike on mu usual 6 mile course.  Either it wasn't windy or I am getting a little faster.  I did it in just under 22 minutes.

I met the group at the church on Tithing hill.  We ran east to Lampton and then followed Lampton north to the end and then ran west to the bottom of the hill.  Then we ran up and down the hill several times.  Then we followed Lampton back. When I got to the very big hill that ends on Tithing Hill I was so tired I had to walk part way.

Today the only exercise I am doing is helping my daugher, her husband and family move.  I'm sure I will get plenty of exercise.

Two days in a row without exercise.  I went to a baptism early this morning and was too lazy to exercise in the afternoon.
